CCTV appeal for witnesses in Southampton murder probe

A number of people were in the area the night before Mr Migdal's body was found

Murder detectives have released CCTV in a bid to trace potential witnesses after a man was found dead near a church.

Leszek Migdal, 52, was found dead near United Reformed Church in Shirley Road, Southampton, on Saturday 19 August.

The images show a number people walking close to the church the night before.

Police are urging those pictured to get in touch as well as anyone else who was in the area and saw anything suspicious.

Leszek Migdal's family previously described his death as a "painful mystery"

Mr Migdal's death was initially treated as "unexplained" by police but is now being treated as murder.

Last month, a 46-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail.

Det Supt David West said: "I would like to stress that the people in these images are not in any trouble, and we simply need to speak with them about anything they may have seen."

Mr Migdal's family previously described his death as a "painful mystery".
